Sorry, I really need to know if my users experience something different than me before I feel comfortable pushing a package update out. This is especially true for a package where I personally am acquainted with a dozen or more users who use it -- meaning there are likely thousands of users out there affected my update. I'm not being pretentious about my or my package's importance to those users, just trying to make sure I don't make things any worse for them if I have an opportunity to do better. Turns out my actual text was a bit less stark: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543278#c53 "The sooner we receive feedback, the sooner we'll know whether we can release this update to the stable distribution. Thanks for participating." But there was a singular goal, which is to encourage people to try out the update so we'd have more assurance the problem was indeed fixed.
